Ariston Bakery is an Athens favorite and has been serving traditional Greek savory pies since 1910. The simple shop can be found in the Syntagma Square area of the city and is still owned by the original family. Here, you can find pies of of all sorts such as the typical spanakopita spinach pie and many others with ample fillings including feta, mushrooms, zucchini and other vegetables.
Delicious highlight: Ariston's specialty, ovalish shaped "kourou" pies. These pies have a simply divine feta filling surroundd by a heavier dough that is buttery and rich. This pie will fill you up as it flakes and crumbles into your mouth!
We took our assortment of savory pies to go and devoured them on a bench at a nearby plaza. The word Ariston means "excellent" in English and there is no other way to describe this discovery.
